Hey, I’m Maarten (@damagedgoods on Instagram), 36 years old and based in Arnhem. Whenever I ride, I always bring a small camera along—what started as a simple habit turned into a way to document and share my adventures.

This route has everything—flowy gravel, technical singletrack, and just enough asphalt to keep things interesting. It kicks off with a solid warm-up climb on the Zijpenberg, setting the tone for a proper day on the bike. The scenery is stunning, but keep in mind: food and water stops are scarce, so pack accordingly.

If you’re looking for a ride that blends adventure with solitude, this is one to add to your list.
